FAQs

Putting Green Installation FAQs

How big should a backyard putting green be?

Size depends on available yard space and how many cup locations you want. Most residential greens run small enough to fit in a side yard or backyard corner.

How much does a putting green cost?

Cost ties to size and contour complexity. More breaks and cup locations mean more base shaping work. A free estimate nails down your number.

Do putting greens need a permit?

Typically not for a standard backyard install, though larger structural features sometimes require a check with the city.

Is DIY putting green installation realistic?

Flat, simple greens are doable DIY. Real contour and consistent roll accuracy usually need professional shaping experience.

How do you maintain a backyard putting green?

Periodic brushing and infill top-off keep the roll consistent. It needs far less upkeep than a real green.
